Grand Union Canal (Slough Arm) Viewed looking towards Slough from the Middlegreen Road bridge, this was the last branch of the Grand Union Canal to be opened, as late as 1882, and long after the railway line that parallels it to the south. The canal also represents the boundary between the local government areas of Slough Borough Council (to the left) and South Bucks District Council (to the right).

Wexham: St Mary's Church The oldest part of the church, the nave, dates from the 12th century, and the circular opening in the west wall, visible here, dates from that time. Below it the two-light window dates from the 15th century. The bell tower has wooden weatherboarding and a wooden spire above. The church appears to stand in isolation from any other contemporary buildings, but the manor house of Wexham Court, now demolished, used to stand on the other side of Church Lane. Today the Wexham Court housing estate covers the area of the manor house.
